THE DRAGON MASTER'S PATH!
"Glorp.”
Score: 5.5/10
Scraggy and Axew, as the official weakest pokemon the heroes have, are sparring again. As with every single sparring battle they have, it ends with Axew misusing dragon rage. Jesus, you would think Iris would by this point just stop doing that. Well, whatever. A Druddigon appears and attacks because it feels it should have been dragon/rock, and dammit, someone needs to pay for this. Pikachu stops it, and Iris falls in love with it because she loves all dragon pokemon. Hey, my demand earlier (for a major female character to like a pokemon that’s not cute) was finally answered!
Druddigon's owner, a woman named Emmy appears, and Druddigon runs off into a forest, Emmy following behind, and behind her, the heroes. We also see that Druddigon's got a piece of rope around its ankle. Bizarrely, the heroes unite with Emmy off screen and agree to work together, so in the next scene, it's like... there they all are.
They find Druddigon in a cave, who wants them to go away. Cilan says that it's angry and dangerous, so Iris ignores him and goes right up to the angry-as-**** dragon and removes the rope around its ankle, which was causing it pain because it "was wrapped around its ankle and cutting into its skin." Seriously? This is a pokemon with the ability Rough ****ing Skin, I don’t think something you can buy at Home Depot is going to hurt it.
Well, Emmy thanks them for the help, and asks how Iris tracked Druddigon down off screen. She explains that Druddigon can't move very far when their body temperature drops, so she knew it had to find a cave where the sun could shine into. HINT: THIS IS TO DISPLAY THAT SHE IS KNOWLEDGABLE REGARDING DRAGONS. Iris tells the heroes that she wants to become a Dragon Master, apparently forgetting about her earlier refusal to tell them her dream, and Emmy asks to be taught more about Druddigon, as this is her first dragon type, and she's not comfortable enough to even go on a journey. Iris challenges her to a battle, and Emmy agrees to battle... Ash.
